Car in Berlin, customer in Hamburg: what does the wrong branch cost you?
Friday, 4:40 PM. A customer in Košice wants an SUV for the weekend. The only free one is parked in Bratislava. A phone call, a spreadsheet, a message to the driver… and an hour later someone else has rented it.
Does this sound familiar to you? With multiple branches, the problem is rarely too few cars. It’s the right car in the wrong place.
Where transfers quietly burn money
- No full-fleet view: each branch only knows its own vehicles.
- Verbal instructions: nobody knows who is driving the car or when it arrives.
- Empty kilometres: the vehicle travels without a customer and earns nothing.
- Unprepared arrivals: the car still needs cleaning and inspection on landing.
What your team sees instead
- Availability in one place. The timeline planner filters by branch and vehicle class, so gaps and conflicts show up instantly.
- Automatic tasks. An inter-branch transfer becomes a task with a deadline, a checklist and a push reminder.
- Mobile app. The driver moves the vehicle, identifies it with the licence plate scanner and logs its condition with timestamped photos.
- Live location. GPS & telematics shows you where the car is right now.
Why this matters to owners
Every hour a car sits at the wrong branch is lost revenue. Utilization heatmaps can show you where your fleet piles up and where it runs short. Flexible pricing by location helps you steer to the right place when it comes down to the right, when in times of demand.
“Won’t this be too complicated?”
No. You don’t have to change everything at once.
- Start with one route, for example Berlin - Hamburg.
- Let tasks generate automatically by them selfs.
- After a month, compare utilization across all your branches.
